“I am from the South. I was born in Adana, in between the cotton fields of Çukurova! In this book you will read the story of Göztepe. Why and how come you may ask. The answer is simple. LOVE! Not love for a woman or a man but a love for passion, conflict and those who believe in joint futures. A love that was late to be acquainted with. But is isn’t easy to find love anyhow…How many times can a person feel love in their heart that leads to joyful tremors? This story is from the pen of a passionate person from Adana, with love to Göztepe and people from the place I love more than anywhere…”
